NYCB: There will be a rare opportunity to see Jennie Somogyi as Sugarplum on Thurs. Dec. 2nd @ 6pm.
ABT: Some of the Washington DC casting has been posted. Lucky DCers – Sarah Lane and Herman Cornejo will dance Theme and Variations on Thur. Jan. 20th. Since it's been a while since we've seen ABT's graceful and luminous version of T&V in New York, as opposed to its knock 'em dead with your spinning and not much else version, it might be worth a few bucks to Bolt your way down to DC for this event. It's easy to forget just how beautiful and spiritual this ballet can be.
Update Thur. 11/17
There's been a little shuffle in the ABT Nutcracker casting. Yuriko Kajiya (replacing Hee Seo) will now dance with Alexandre Hammoudi and Maria Riccetto will dance with Daniil Simkin. Not sure how the first pair will look, but Haglund knows that the second pair will look like a partnership. Maria and Daniil square up nicely together - it's something to do with their backs and their personalities. This is definitely one more thing to look forward to next month.
